How many times have “The New Look Lions” gotten back to 500 only to fall apart Uh, how many times has that happened? The Lions brand is utter futility, with that brief spurt of semi-competence in the Caldwell era. You have to look like you're on the right track in the first place to fall apart.

The Lions revamping their culture has been an unambiguous positive for the team, suddenly changing it around to go "What about the playoff win?!" is moving the goalpost.

MCDC has quite the cult of personality around him when you see the players talk about him. The owner tore down leadership and spent plenty of $$$ to not just find the people who would run the organization, but paid to build a strong staff around them. Holmes has built a team that should be looking to win the division. There will be an expectation of playoff success, but they're still building to that.

Montgomery occasionally broke out some great plays, but he was the epitome of "three yards and a cloud of dust" with the Bears.

I was talking poo poo about how I was mad the bulls didn't get the #1 pick like with Rose, but detroit falling that far is insane there's no point even mocking detroit for what they did in '02 (how the hell is lebron still playing). chicago/illinois sports have had one real playoff series win since the '16 cubs champs ('17 cubs over nationals) but detroit hasn't had playoff success since '13 (both wings and tigers got a single playoff win)

The Bears under Trestman still laughing when the offensive coordinator got caught talking poo poo about Cutler to a reporter and then Trestman made him tearfully apologize to him in front of the team. Having to sincerely apologize to Jay Cutler is one of the funniest things I can possibly imagine.

Especially the last few years with the offseason will he be back stuff. At least he got his buddy Cobb a couple contracts.

I'm sorry it is very hard for me to believe that this extremely annoying man did not annoy at least some of his teammates with his annoying bullshit.quote:During a recent interview, former Packers quarterback DeShone Kizer said that Aaron Rodgers once asked him whether he “believes in 9/11,” referring to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, during his first quarterbacks meeting with the team in ’18.

I believe that 9/11 is a day of the year, yes.SKULL.GIF posted:The Lions revamping their culture has been an unambiguous positive for the team, suddenly changing it around to go "What about the playoff win?!" is moving the goalpost. My great fear of the Holmes + Campbell era is that it becomes a repeat of the Mayhew + Schwartz era. There are some broad parallels between the two (GM and coach brought in together, terrible first 1.5 seasons, early boost from a can't-miss D-lineman drafted second overall) and Schwartz was hailed at the time for bringing "culture" back to Detroit before it started to peter out after year 3. Improving the culture isn't enough but it's a good start, and I get a vague impression that this team likes their coach a little more than those early '10s teams (could also be forgetting the team vibe a decade ago)

Schwartz was a barely more personable Patricia. Iirc, he pretty openly played favorites and alienated a bunch of guys, including Suh maybe?

While I am enthusiastic about the Lions cleaning house and hiring a seemingly competent front office that isn’t staffed by cretins who drive away all the best talent, I predict nothing when it comes to next season. Literally anything could happen. The Lions could win 12 games and a division and a playoff game or two. They could also regress to Lions.txt and win 7 games. They’ve kicked me in the balls so often the last four decades, I cannot even begin to have an air of hubris when it comes to the Lions. I just hope they can vanquish a lot of their decades-long loveable loser stereotypes.
